Kazaa Lite (along with other software) makes changes to your HOSTS file, which is affecting which links your browser can follow. You may have noticed that some other websites are acting funky too.I stopped getting graphics at Gamespot.com after I installed Kazaa Lie.

THE FIX1) Do a search on your computer for a file called "HOSTS" (i'm running XP home and its located: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC)

2) Open it in Notepad and search for any lines that contain the following domains:

AdsGone has populated my HOSTS file with the known banner ad sites, which is probably what is blocking CAG's links. I like you guys and would like to support you, but not enough to even consider turning off my ad blocker. Sorry. :?

I use mozilla firebird, since it has pop up blocker, that's all I worry about. Anyone with trouble can do what I did:
1) Clear your browser's cache
2) edit the host file or just delete (close your browser first)
3) reboot

I'm gonna have to try this when I get home. I've had this problem for a while now but I think it was cause by an old Pop-Up blocking software I used to use. I have Kazaa Lite on my work PC and don't have any issues with CAG at all.

Norton has been blocking access to links with its 'Norton Internet Security'. Why it thinks this makes you more secure, I don't know. Its shipping on a lot of new computers with the default setting to 'on'. I think what it is doing is making it so you can only visit companies they approve of.

I don't know if companies pay money to get their links unblocked or to stay off the blocked list.

If editing your .hosts file didn't work you might want to try deleting Norton and using something else.

Don't know if it has anything to do with the recent MBboard switch, but all the photo gallery links do not work for me anymore--- they just take me back to the main page. A few others up top also just take me back to the main page.
